Note  Our  Superiority 
in  important  particulars.      It  may    be    well    to    state    that 

We  Do  Not  Make  Brains, 
but  we  do  develop  the  material  offered,  with  rapidity  and 
gratifying  success.      We  would    say    more,    but    modesty

graduates  fill  high  salaried  positions.  Doors  of  oppor- 
tunity open  to  our  graduates.  We  have  more  calls  than 
we  can  fill.  Business  men  of  Omaha,  Des  Moines,  Ot- 
tumwa,  Albia,  and  other  cities,  besides  local  firms,  give 
us  first  call  for  bookkeepers  and  stenographers.

ual Business  from  the  Start,  Touch   Typewriting,   Gregg

Preparation  For  Teaching 

acquired  in  Oskaloosa  College  has  two  salient  character- 
istics: thorough  knowledge  of  subjects,  and  ability  to  im- 
part knowledge  obtained.   These  objects  are  attained 

In  Shortest  Time 

possible,  with  the  result  that  a  student  is  able  to  acquire 
from  fifty  to  a  hundred  per  cent,  more  knowledge  in  Os- 
kaloosa College  in  a  given  period  of  time  than  in  many 
other  institutions. 

When  We  Say 

to  a  student:  "you  are  ready  for  your  examinations,"  they 
never  fail!  Why  then  go  elsewhere,  when  we  have  what 
you  want? 

The  Summer  Session 

is  an  admirable  method  whereby  teachers  and  others  can 
either  increase  grade  of  certificate  or  prepare  for  exami- 
inations,  and  also  obtain  credit  in  course,  thus  shortening 
time  usually  required  to  graduate. 

The  Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Pedagogy 

is  conferred  upon  graduates  of  Normal  course  upon  pay- 
ment of  diploma  fee  of  five  dollars.
